"get out of my house" * pulls out a pepper spray *

Seriously though, the answer is anything from "don't care", "it's men's duty to protect our great country" and "fuck off with your fascists militia", every single person you ask would have different answer from British TERF to Azerbaijan anarcho-feminist

    Yeah I meant more that in car traffic there's every-fucking-one driving their 2 ton shitbox in an unpredictable way causing chaos. Think of some Corusant scenes in Star wars movies where you see thousands upon thousands of speeders flying on many levels in long lines, and one mistake will crash few speeders a kilometer down to the ground

    The most non-dull thing about it was the door could be turned left or right handed, and the door handle can be rotated in 90° increases, pretty cool.

    I noticed in the shop that the machine had a door opening to the right, which was strange considering all rest of the dryers and washing machines were left handed. Also the machine at home opens to the left, which is great considering the corner we have it installed

    So I asked the seller in shop about it, because the construction of the door seemed like it could be swapped, and he laughed and said it'd be the first time he'd see one where you can swap the door hinge to other side.

    We ended up buying the machine and when coming home and opening the manuals, I confirmed my suspicions and disassembled and swapped the door around. Felt like a dad at that moment (until I realized I forgot to install the door seal, and the dryer was already running 😁)

    Also I somehow managed to carry it up the stairs and lift it on top of our washing machine somehow without breaking my back, which was nice.

    Found some super cheap fulcrum rapid red 900 wheels at 27.5" size, so decided to do the disc brake conversion. Add some mechanical Tektro brakes from parts bin, Kenda tires at 50mm width and sick looking yellow bar tape from local bike store, 12->10mm axle conversion and we have some absolute beauty here supported by Mezpils lager from Latvia

    I have some shifting problems to solve, also the disc brake conversion kit from bezos doesn't really work all that well but those are all probably solvable issues. Might start into looking to weld a disc brake tabs to the frame :s

    Since the last Post I grabbed some cheapo alu forks and cranks for 1by setup, and the bike is starting to feel great. I had a weekend trip with brother in law and realized I really wanted to add then some proper panniers and aero bars for more comfort over longer distances.
    Oh, and replaced the old tiagra derailleur with a grx, works great with tiagra 4700 shifters

    Now also considering throwing in some 27.5" gravel wheels with 40mm-ish tires and disc brake conversion, but not sure if I want to commit on that yet.

     

    YT Industries GmbH has initiated a legal restructuring process under German law, entering into self-administration to secure the company's future.

    In a press release from YT Industries, the German-based brand said "despite strong global growth and a loyal customer base", it has been "severely impacted by the global discounting battle in the bike industry, problems with suppliers and uncertainty in the US market related to tariff policies." YT Industries said it was "compelled" to enter legal restructuring proceedings under self-administration as the company has "no further funding available under the current structure."

    Markus Flossmann, founder and CEO of YT Industries, said it was "not an easy step for YT, but a necessary measure to actively shape the future of the brand." Flossmann added: "We are already in discussions with potential new partners and are confident that we'll be back on track soon."

    Currently, YT Industries remains fully operational with business continuing as normal during the restructuring process. Customer service and warranty support continue to be available and new product launches are still on track to launch in the coming months.

    For any further support, YT Industries said its customer support can still be reached through email and the North American entity of YT is unaffected.
